WWE superstar begins treatment against illness

ROMAN REIGNS has officially embarked on treatment in his second battle against leukemia.

The former WWE Universal champion shocked the wrestling world last month when he announced that he had been diagnosed with the cancer, 11 years after putting it into remission.

Reigns, 33, was forced to take an indefinite break from the company as well as relinquish his WWE Universal title.

“Every now and then real life comes in and throws you something in your face that makes you understand that real life does happen.

“And also to appreciate the time that we have with each other.”
